Planeswalk with the Proffessors #17: Taking Notes

Posted on 14 March 2008 by Tommy

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Planeswalkin with the Proffessors. This week when we planeswalk we’ll take a look at several eternal formats and hear from a veteran Legacy player eager to give his two sense about the topic, as well as take a look into Vintage. For those of you thinking I’m shooting myself in the foot with this subject you might be right, but nonetheless there’s somethin to be said for breaking new ground. Speaking of breaking new ground we’ve got some new news on the theme, and my humble perspective of Shadowmoor, as well as the new changes to the extended format. …And, of course how to get that krinkly noise when you open a pack, let’s see how I fare with that later on in the show, so let’s go!

    Sealed Deck
    • 2+ players
    • Each player needs 1 Tournament pack and 3 booster packs
    • Players simply open their tournament packs and the cards from three additional booster packs and build a deck from the cards they opened. Guidelines require a minimum deck size of 40 cards and allow players to add as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their card pools as they like.

    Booster Draft
    • 4-8 players
    • Each player needs 3 booster packs
    • At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can't see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted. Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again.
      Once all the packs have been drafted, players build decks from the cards they selected, adding as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their decks as they like. Each deck must have at least 40 cards.
    Tribal Wars
    • One-third of every deck must be of a single creature type (e.g. "Merfolk" or "Beast")
    • Each deck must contain at least 60 cards, and players may build decks using Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
    • You can use creatures of other creature types, but they do not count towards the "1/3 of single creature type" rule.

    Singleton
    • aka "Highlander"
    • No two cards in a player's deck can share a name unless they're basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests). Players can use Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
